Biography 1
I really enjoyed how this book told the story of Wilson Bentley. It was very readable and contained a lot of information on his life. My favorite part of the book was the excerpts of information on the sides of the pages. It allowed the reader to be able to understand what was going on in his life at that time and why he was doing the things he was doing. The illustrations in the book went a long with the story as well. From the illustrations you could tell what was going on in the book without having to read the words. That allows the book to be great for all ages. It could be read to a kindergarten class or even to a third grade class if they are studying weather. There are many great ideas that this book could be used for...the possibilities are endless! I could really relate to this book, because it would have been a book I would have chosen this book when I was in first or second grade to read. The pictures in the book are beautiful and that alone would have had me captivated for hours.
